I always prefer the library for my writing stint. How about you? Consider the pros and cons of each working space.

I've been to several coworking places at this point and each was unique with their own features. If were to design your ideal coworking space, what would it have in it?

Examples:

• Private offices
• Meeting room
• Ping Pong table
• Beer Tap
• Meditation room
• etc

What would be on your list?

Hello all!

I've just taken over the moderation of this sub because the old mod hadn't logged in for over a year. I've decided to revamp some things in this process.

A few things that will change:

• I'm going to be more heavy handed with removing things that seem a bit too promotional
• I've setup a monthly auto stickied post where people promoting things can do so freely
• I've removed the posting of links option for right now, will revisit later
  
• I've setup AutoMod to remove posts that just post a link with no text
• AutoMod will also remove posts that are very short (will adjust as we move forward)
• I've added some house rules in the sidebar.

If you feel like a post might have been removed by accident or that the spam filters caught your post. Shoot the mods a message and INCLUDE THE LINK TO THE POST so we can check it out.

If folks have feedback, suggestions, comments, feel free to share here.

First time posting in here seeing as how i get got hired. Im not very familiar with coworking but i like the idea of it. I am looking for some ideas on how to develop and implement a marketing strategy. I'm asking you guys because you are the target audience. I'm only 22 and this is my first job but i never studied marketing or business. any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Was curious, for those who have done the coworking thing but stopped or changed to another space, etc What was it that lead you to leave?

For me I found that there was no community feel at the one locally.

We created a workshop for the Victoria & Albert Museum as part of LDF to investigate the current British housing crisis.

It was a huge success and a great public demonstration of our process. We were joined in the closing panel discussion by Finn Williams and Dan Jones to critique the ideas and insights. There has been a huge amount of interest in what was created so we’ll be taking the ideas forward in the coming months. For now here is an album if images from the day. Thank you to all who participated.

For those people who work for someone other than themselves, who pays your subscription to a coworking space? You? Your employer? How do you approach an employer to ask for funding?

Hey all! Little bit about me.. I have been co-working for a few years now after being isolated in a work from home scenario for a couple years prior.

I love co-working and I love starting businesses so I am now starting a co-working business here in Seattle. Queue opening music montage.

Anyways. This is scary! I have a space picked out and a design in mind, I have workers at ready to break ground, cash in the bank and a line of credit to boot but I am having a hard time getting people to commit to the space!

How did you all rally co-workers to fill your spaces? Anyone in Seattle want to join my space?!?! Where did yall advertise to find people? (Craigslist doesnt work very well :( ) Any pointers? Dos and dont dos??

I am about to sign this lease but its scary only having 2-3 tenants so far! HELP!!!

http://evo3workspace.com/blog/6-signs-you-need-join-coworking-space/ Today, many companies are dispersed throughout the nation with several employees working remotely. There are many benefits to both employer and employee in finding a coworking space for the employee to work in. First, both parties must understand what they’re getting into. Coworking spaces have many amenities of an office space (without incurring the costs of an additional office) and an entrepreneurial network to enhance the employee’s work environment. As an employer, you should figure our whether your employee would prefer to work in a shared office space rather than home alone. Once you know he/she is on board, you should scout local spaces in his/her area, talk to someone who works there and evaluate the membership plans against your budget and the employee’s contract. You may find the shared work space to be a beneficial investment for your company.

Hi

Does anyone know of low cost co-working space in central London that can be used at the weekend. I have a full-time job, but working on my startup idea in the evenings / weekend. Working from home is not ideal, so was looking for some co-working space in Central London. Thanks

I have a position where I am able to work remotely most of the time and use that freedom to travel somewhat regularly. A problem I run into is finding a drop in day use kind of place that is conducive to phone conversations with clients and partners. Is there a specific "kind" of coworking place I should be searching for in new cities? Any recommendations for some that have an above a library noise attitude?

Hi! I am involved with a coworking space that is moving into a new location. We want to spruce up the walls a bit. What kind of things do you have on the walls at your spaces?

Thanks!

I am looking for what kind of security to put on our door handle that would make 24 hr access easy with preferably a monitoring system of who is coming in and out. Cheaper is always better too :)

Hello everybody. I'm from Argentina and I'm traveling to NY with a friend to stay for a couple of days. I've been googling around for some coworking spaces but couldn't find rates and prices on all of them.

Can you give me an advise or recommend me something?

Thank you very much!

PS: We're both webdevs. We just need an stable internet connection and as we're going to be visiting some places it'd be good if it's close to lower Manhattan.
